---|
| On March 1, 2012, OCUL launched its newest service, Scholars GeoPortal. We encourage all Ontario university students, staff and faculty to explore the site and use our online tools to discover the fascinating geospatial data on offer. Background |
|
...
The Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) |
|
...
has launched a new geospatial and health informatics storage and data discovery tool that, along with the social science data delivery system <odesi> , |
|
...
provides a portal to Ontario researchers to access numeric and spatial datasets. The new |
|
...
service was made possible with support from the Government of Ontario through the OntarioBuys initiative |
|
...
...
The portal system will provide a secure repository for geospatial files and serve as a health informatics cyberinfrastructure that will also include an integrated online mapping tool to improve the accessibility and ease of use of geo-referenced data and geospatial files. Together, the <odesi> and geospatial portal systems will increase accessibility of data and geospatial files to researchers in all disciplines across Ontario's Universities.
